i made this to control my directv...but i could not figure out what frequency i should use so i made the arduino scan and it worked if i was close by but i think i may have burned out my led.... is there a problem with the code i wrote???

my mother-in-law aggrivates me with the tv by turning the volume way too loud so i am trying to come up with a way to power off the box when she does so discretely. i need to figure out what freq. that would be best to use with dtv or have a better understanding of what the freq. part of the code does. the finished product will fit inside a sharpie

I imagine if you burned out your LED, you probably did not use the appropriate resistor. I also imagine no matter how discrete you think you will be, you won't be, and that doing this may increase the hostilities between you and your mother-in-law even more.

lol it can't get any worse... but it did give me a victory she thought my box was broken... lmao
